Will 'Preachers of L.A.' Be As Controversial the Second Time Around?

Oxygen has just announced that the Preachers of L.A. are back in action. Bishop Noel Jones, Minister Deitrick Haddon, Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Jay Haizlip, Pastor Wayne Chaney and Bishop Ron Gibson are the six mega-pastors and stars of the show.

The series received much flack from the Christian community last year for its luxe portrayal of the pastors who claim that their material wealth, including expensive cars, clothes and houses were gifts from God. Despite the criticism the show is going on and singer Michelle Williams is set to kick of a two-part special for the series July 23 at 10 p.m. EST.

Will the new season cause another stir? We'll see when it debuts August 20 at 10 p.m. EST on Oxygen.
